The Excitement Elsewhere,
TnE SITUATION At NEW YORK.


New YoRK, June Is. IL q. m.-There il
nothing special in the wheat market up to
this hour. Prices have been little irreg
ular, but there is an absence OF new fea.
lures. The first sales showed q gain of y
cent, but q rallyipg movement soon set in,
leading to break of Y and <. Speculative
dealings are moderate and mainly of a
scalping nature. Charles Henroten, the
Chicago operator who joined the New York
Stock Exchange on January 16, 1889, no.
titled the exchange this morning that he
was unable to meet his contracts.
There were reports that Maurice Rosen.
field, who is also member of the Stock Ex-
change, was suspended there, but these re-
ports were unfounded and he telegraphed
not owe dollar on the Stock Exchange.
THE BIG DROP
of TX cents in June wheat and AZ in July
at Chicago from the opening figures an
nounced in the New York Produce Exchange
at o'clock created temporary excite
fall in this market. The drop of 2 cents in
New York from the opening quotations re-
fused to 60 any lower, and the market re-
mained comparatively steady. News of
the failure of the Chicago firms caused
some nervousness. At the close of the main
session at o'clock, June wheat went at %
cents and July at 85h cents. The final
rates show an irregular reaction of h@1
cent. the most market on June. Coffee was
also featureless, but closing rates show an
advance of about points. Sales, 176,-
600 bags.
THE CINCINNATI SITUATION.
CINCINNATI, June 15.-There was interest
among the grain menon change in the fluct.
uations of wheat at Chicago, but very little
to do business. One sale of
wheat was made at the call. July, at 70,
which is Y lower than yesterday.

apparently received with favor by the

that Northern troops within . short time

cate that II the Union flags were returned

LOST THEM IN BATTLE,
it would not be inconsistent with tho frater-
nal sentiment which seemed to be preva-
lent to offer at the same time to the Gov
srnors Of States formerly in the rebellion
the return OF flags which had been taken
from their soldiers. The right to
make these returns being question by
the President, such right was distinctly as
serted and the precedents, and thereupon
bis oral assent Was given.

The entertainment was held in the church

admirably carried out by the children of

Paracelsus has told us, however, how
to make the "Electrum Magicum," out
of which you may make q mirror in
which you may see the events of the past
and the present, absent friends and enc
mics, etc. Take ten parts of pure gold,
ten of silver, five of copper, two of tin,
two Of lead, one of powdered iron and
five of lnercury-all pure metals. Wait
until Saturn and Mercury come into con-
junction, having all your appliances
ready for the fortunate moment. Then
melt the lead, add the mercury, and let
it cool. Wait for a communion of Jupi-
ter with Saturn and Mercury, then melt
your compound in a crucible, and in
another crucible the tin, and pour the
two metals together at the moment OF
conjunction. Wait for a conjunction of
the u with either of the planets, and
then melt and add the gold. Similarly,
at a conjunction of the moon with the
sun, or Saturn or Mercury, add the silver
in like manner; and at the conjunction of
Venus with any of the others, add the
copper. The last conjunction is with
Mars, when the iron Is to be added, the

WIZ they Consolidate.

The latest railroad rumors foreshadow
the consolidation of the Burlington and
Union Pacific railroads from Cheyenne
westward, via the Oregon Short Line to
the Pacific coast. The Omaha Herald
says on the subject:
The chief aim OF the Burlington is
understood to be the gaining of a moro
direct route to the coast than that via the
Denver & Rio Grande. The need of a
direct route to western waters on the part
of the Burlington and the need of the
Union Pacific for a line to Chicago result
ed In a close calculation as to the best
means Of helping out each road. The
result, according to good authority, has
been to unite the interests of the two
lines, with MI. Potter publicly holding the
helm of the one and privately directing
hat of the other. The scheme back of il
all is said to be a rapid extension of the
Burlington 10 Cheyenne When the
latter point has been reached, connection
with the Union Pacific will have beer
made and a thorough direct course via
the newly acquired line of the Union
Pacific will be secured to the coast. The
practical uniting of these two lines viii
have a momentous effect on the othel
roads whose lines Invade the West"
If the combination, according to report,
is made it viii. bring about the construc
ton of immense railroad shops south
of the track, to be used in common By the
gigantic consolidation; and Cheyenne
would then unquestionably be the leading
railroad city west of the Missouri river.

The dense black smoke emitted daily
from the electric light works, and which
cover everything in its path with SCOT, is
the ource of serious complaints among
residents in the eastern part of the city.
AS this nuisance can easily be avoided by
means of a smoke consumer, the city
council should compel the company to OBJ,
tain and use one. This would be no
hardship to the company, for a smoke
consumer is a great economizer of fuel;
and it would be a great blessing to the
people of Cheyenne, who, unfortunately,
are compelled TO reside where they and
their belongings are daily exposed t. the

While a week z there were some
skeptics in regard to the future prospects
of the city and the substantial character of
the boom, they have about all disappeared
now, and it is generally conceded that
those who have been predicting that
Cheyenne within the next FIVE years will
have a population of we'll up to $1,000,
arc correct Such being the case, it will
be readily seen that not only is the boom
is still progressing, but that it is still pro-
crossing, but that it is destined to continue
indefinitely, hence the undated activity
in real estate matters which on yeste rday
was no ticeabie everywhere.
